Ingredients
Method
To make frittatas, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan or a 12-cup standard muffin pan with spray oil.
Place the pan on a large rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven to preheat for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a liquid measuring cup, whisk together eggs, cream, salt and pepper until well blended.
Remove pans from oven. While muffin pan is still hot, carefully fill each mini muffin cup about halfway full with egg mixture or each standard muffin cup about 3/4 full.
Return the pans to the oven.
Pour hot tap water into the baking sheet, being careful not to splash water into frittata mixture.
Cook until the centers are set and do not jiggle, about 20 minutes for mini frittatas or about 25 minutes for larger frittatas.
Carefully remove muffin pan from the oven and let cool slightly, and then gently release frittatas from the pan using a spatula.
Meanwhile, make romesco sauce: Combine red peppers and liquid, almonds, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, parsley and salt in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
Arrange warm or room temperature frittatas on a large serving platter.
Spoon a little sauce on top of each frittata, and serve the rest on the side.
